Tostadas With Goat Cheese And Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lightly oil 2 baking sheets with olive oil. Arrange tortillas on the baking sheets.
• Spread salsa on the tortillas and sprinkle with cilantro. Top with goat cheese and chives.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Cut each tostada into 4 wedges and serve hot as an appetizer.
• If you like it hot, add a few jalapeno slices to each wedge.

Steps:

• Combine the mango, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts browning, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, chile powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Continue to cook until the beef is cooked through and the sauce is slightly reduced, about 2 minutes.
• Divide the beef among the tostadas; top with lettuce, the mango salsa, sour cream and cilantro. Sprinkle with chile powder, if desired. Serve with lime wedges.

• 2. Add the cheeses to the bowl and combine thoroughly with the nuts. Scoop it in the center of a baking dish (I like to use a decorative 9-inch pie pan) and form it into a 5-inch-diameter disk. Spoon the salsa over and around the cheese. Place the dish in the oven and bake until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle on the cilantro and set it out for your guests to enjoy as a dip or a spread.

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place seasoned roast in the hot oil and brown for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
• Cook onions in the same skillet, stirring frequently, until they begin to turn clear, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in beef stock, 1/2 cup chopped tomato, orange juice, lime juice, and remaining spice rub.
• Return the roast back to the skillet and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer gently until meat is tender and cooked through, about 2 hours. Remove meat from the skillet and transfer to a cutting board.
• Carefully pour the skillet contents into a blender or food processor. Pulse several times, until sauce is smooth.
• Remove the visible fat from the meat and discard. Shred the meat with two forks. Place shredded beef back into the skillet with about 3/4 cup of the pureed tomato sauce. Add more, if desired, to adjust the consistency. Refrigerate any unused tomato sauce in a sealed container for another use, if desired.
